Romanian VDC 1924 (Biblia sau Sfânta Scriptură cu Trimiteri 1924, Dumitru Cornilescu)
Domnul a zis lui Moise: "Iată, tu vei adormi împreună cu părinţii tăi. Şi poporul acesta se va scula şi va curvi după dumnezeii străini ai ţării în care intră. Pe Mine Mă va părăsi şi va călca legământul Meu pe care l-am încheiat cu el.
What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
Imagine if you promised to always play with your favorite toy, but then you met new toys and forgot about your old promise. God is telling Moses that the people might do something like that, but with gods instead of toys.

Living It Out Today
Today, we can relate this to people who start to prioritize things like money or fame over their relationship with God. It's a reminder to stay true to our promises and commitments.
